TRANSiTiON

In 98 
the devil paid a visit 
Took a sip of OJ 
& sent us on a mission 
Can you relate? 
I’ve always been innit
Calling  balls from the sofa
calling strikes from the kitchen
It’s Tampa Bay 
Y’all don’t know my cities limit 
Crossed the bridge to catch a game 
Now a win is what I’m pitchin 
That’s ok 
You’re a Yankee & you’re bitchin 
Lookin swanky, nice addition
now the gulf team got the vision 
I’m a Ray 
While you’re sinkin, we keep swimmin
Round the boat, Where were fishin
Now the whole teams feelin gifted 
Please clear the way 
I keep thinkin, we keep winnin 
25 to life 
I can’t take another sentence 
Rays win Rays blend
In the sunshine state 
Some call it destiny 
Some call it fate 
It never occurred to me 
So let’s get this straight 
I got energy like Aki back in 08 
TAMPA 
BAY 
Gotta lot of love for my city 
TAMPA 
BAY 
We’re goin up in the right right way
Born in a champion city 
Keep your eyes on my city

RAYS WIN!

The debut single off of Akiva's new debut record, A Day Off,  is here. Enjoy the good vibes and spread the love.


Given Me

Who Needs T.V?

Thanks for watching you can catch me on air 
where I keep my cares and a pair of ovals 
spinnin like the novas 
the hopeless hopefuls are the most soulful 
got vocals like an opera 
belting at a global social 
melting to a different channel 
a panel of judges cant stop you 
from being a local having dreams and making use of your watch 
the more you listen the less you will talk 
I never want to say i'm done its just begun 
the surfer gets shot and the cop gets bit 
the murder gets solved and the murder gets flipped 
the soap bop I opt out before I can mention it 
reality is checkin but who is checkin it 
infidelity is present and we're praisin it 
if i cussed in my raps you know what i'd say about it 
what is the worth give peace a chance 
x and y both love a 5-0/50 chance at romance , at romance 
I never want to say im done its just begun 
you're my sesh 
you're better than the rest 
may i suggest you put me to the test when you confess the worlds a mess 
will you caress the best of me on air 
scared unaware news and your mind is fears way to share the time 
be prepared cause you're my sesh 

Chorus: 
You're my seshin 
my favorite sensation 
You're my seshin 
my secret obsession 

Catch me on air (8x) 

Chorus

Professor, Professor I need a lecture
You know the subject, I know the treasure
I'm not a pirate, but I must find it 
You are diamond and I am a lion of truth
Give me hope give me strength to find
It's my peace, It's my heart of mind
Press the play press the pause rewind
Chorus:
Awaken the fire within the fire within my soul
Awaken the fire within the fire it makes me whole
Awaken the fire within the fire within my soul 
Awaken the fire within the fire it makes me whole
Makes me whole (4x)
The fire , the fire , the fire
The fire, the fire , the fire
In my soul, Two sticks rub together
Two thoughts fall apart
Two sticks rub together 
and the fire begins to start 
let it burn burn burn
Open me up, I've had enough
Till i turn turn turn 
to the light and love 
give it up , let go of my ego
centric, pessimistic friendships 
You become who you mess with 
focus on my relationships 
The honesty, the trust within
The harmony, the oil blend
The fire light , the smoke is thick
The vibe is right and life is a trick now 
Professor, Professor I need a lecture
You know the subject, I know the treasure
I'm not a pirate, but I must find it 
You are diamond and I am a lion of truth
Give me hope give me strength to find
It's my peace, It's my heart of mind
Press the play press the pause rewind
Chorus:
Awaken the fire within the fire within my soul
Awaken the fire within the fire it makes me whole
Awaken the fire within the fire within my soul 
Awaken the fire within the fire it makes me whole

LAVA

A demonic comic 
A world so ironic 
A chronic catatonic 
Fills you up psychotic 
Producing robotic narcotic movements 
Caustic and neurotic 
The topic is toxic 
It's time to reinvent the logic 
The cosmic hypnotic has become our next project
Tropic melodic 
Cause our minds full of concepts for the better 

Time warp top top time warp  
Time warp on top top time warp  
Time warp top top time warp  
Time warp on top top time warp  
Time warp top top time warp  
Time warp on top top time warp  
Time warp top top time warp  
Time warp on top topple

Distortion the portion 
Is out of control 
Aborted then snorted our souls 
Contorted and transported to speech 
Supported then exported
All in our bones in our bones
Throats are severed 
Cripple the simple 
The ripple effect
The civil the scribble
Becomes the dead 
Tickle the missile inside of your head
Sizzle brings drizzle 
Cause our hearts full of hate for whatever 

Time warp top top time warp

Deforestation 
The abbreviation 
A religious demonstration 
Uprootin and takin 
To further education 
And keep sky scraping
Natural muscle hustle 
Last lung station 
New world nations 
Lost appreciation 
Hug for a drug 
That's free medication 
Mediation waitin
While my veins intaking
My earth my creation 
Why have you forsaken?

Hidden in ya messages 
I caught you 
I caught you 
Subliminal messages
Hidden in ya messages 
It's not you
I got you 
Subliminal
Two time criminal 
First she stole my heart
Then she killed it , fictional 
Cause i'm still breathing 
Looking at the ceiling in this heavy coat 
And by the time you die 
They finally bury you in gold
Literal, it's pitiful 
The ground is rich enough
Buried deep beneath the grass, death is tough 
I hit rock bottom 
Puff, puff, puff pass on cause baby we got them thinkin 
Subliminal messages
Hidden in ya messages 
I caught you 
I caught you 
Subliminal messages
Hidden in ya messages 
It's not you, 
I got you 
Puff, puff pass on 
No worries without passion
I know this won't last long
Called the copper from the cabinet
Said just drop her, stop her
We are after it
Plead the 5th, talk to the five
Myth of the five 
You killed my heart,
But you can't kill my mind
Now you're on the run hun 
You thought it would be fun hun 
To get 911 to burn you like the sun 
Bun, hair pulled up
Back, screaming you don't give a f**k
Mugshot, the sentence has been stated
I used to think highly of you, but that was just maintenance
Huffin and a puffin and throwing a fit
I'm in the new world time for you to take a hit, thinkin 
Subliminal messages
Hidden in ya messages 
I caught you 
I caught you 
Subliminal messages
Hidden in ya messages 
It's not you
I got you 
You know me 
And i know you
You hurt me, and i'll hurt you too 
Maybe, maybe, maybe
That's the story of two
So maybe i've gone out
Or maybe i've been tricked by you?
Baby i'm gone now
Still looking for the truth 
And, baby it's hot down here 
Subliminal messages
Hidden in ya messages 
I caught you 
I caught you 
Subliminal messages
Hidden in ya messages 
You'll rot too 
You'll rot too
